Asked about the potential for Joe Hart to move to Anfield this summer, Klopp said yesterday: “He is a fantastic goalkeeper, the goalkeeper of the English national team, highest quality but we already have highest quality goalkeepers.

“It is not for us in this moment and hopefully not for us in the future - not because of Joe - but we already have two strong goalkeepers.”

Yesterday he was telling the truth. And today he is still telling the truth.
